Tune properties and standard notation


MRS. DINGWELL OF BROCKLY'S STRATHSPEY. Scottish, Strathspey. F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Composed by Robert Petrie. The melody was recorded in 1936 on a 78 RPM disc (Celtic 006) by Cape Breton fiddler Dan J. Campbell, one of the first recordings of Cape Breton fiddlers. Paul Stewart Cranford remarks that Campbell’s setting differs somewhat from the Skye Collection setting, and was picked by older Cape Breton players.

Source for notated version:

Printed sources: Cranford (Jerry Holland: The Second Collection), 2000; No. 165, p. 62. MacDonald (The Skye Collection), 1887; p. 151.

Recorded sources: Rounder Records , John L. MacDonald – “Formerly of Foot Cape Road: Scottish Fiddle Music in the Classic Inverness County Style” (2005).
